Owner Talks About 1t.
Philip H.. Reeh in Puck.
Louise-Oh, Helen, how your baby
grows! He is quite catching up to
Rupert.
Helen-Yes; you know he's quite four
months old now. l wish he would wake
up.
LOuise-So he is; aren't they too sweet,
anyway? Rupert has two teeth, you
know.
Helen-Oh, has he? l am crazy for
baby to show one. l thought / felt one
yesterday, but nurse says | ( didn't.
LOuis-Oh, of course not. Rupert was
six months old before he cut his first
tooth.
Hsleu-Was he? I'm sure baby will
do better than that; his gums feel really
hard.
LOuise-Oh, Rupert's were hard, too,
for fully two months before the tooth APP
peared.
Helen-Were they? How Disappointing!
LOuise-Oh, yes; it was such an event
the day we discovered the little white
pearl sticking through! l had been out,
and
Helen-Oh, l do so hope l shall find
baby's tooth first
LDuise-And when l came in, the dear
little fellow looked mp and cOoed so
sweetly-
Helen-Baby is beginning to know me,
too.
Louise-That | couldn't wait to lay
aside my wraps, but snatched him up, and
began, as usual, to
Helen-Baby Just loves TO bury his nose
in my sealskin sacque. put it on some
times in the house Just to let him enjoy 1t.
Louise-TO feel in his mouth for the
tooth
Helen-My nurse me rub my thimble
over the gums every day
LOuiSe-And fancy my delight to en-
counter a hard substance
Helen-EOu know the gold cannot pos
sibly hurt him.
LOuise-Oh, no; and it relieves Rupert's
gums so much, dear little soul! lie is
teething so hard now!
Helen-Baby seems very restless when l
ah giving III" h' "i'h' L "'h "'
teeth.
LOuise-Yery likely. Rupert never cries
when battle him. Igive him a good meal,
and
Helen-Oh, LOuise-why baby is never
bathed until half an hour after he is fed.
Louise timpressively My dear, you
must stop that at once! My book, "Ad-
vice to Young Mothers" says a child
should never be bathed while hungry.
Helen-Oh, hut you know DIR. MOllycOd-
die, in his Nursery Talks" expressly
prohibits bathing a child on a full stOm-
ach-
Neutrality-suspicious. is the best teacher,
and Rupert is 9 months old, and is always
fed before his bath.
Helcn-Oh, | could never think Of such
q thing. Baby might have a CONFUSION!
LOUISE should be much more afraid
of Rupert's going into a %cOnvulsiOn from
Overiatigue and reStlcssneSs ii he were
bathed when hungry.
Helen-Oh, | don't think so. Baby is
as good as \ little kitten, always.
LOuise-SO is Rupert. Oh II have got
to change my nurse !
Helen-What a pity! Mine is an ex-
ccllcnt one.
LOuise-Well, Margaret is good about
a good many things, but so careless, l
cannot put up with her.
Helen-Elizabeth needs watching, of
course; she forgot to put back the CRIB
sheets half an hOur before baby was put to
bed last night
IOuise-Why, | found the temperature
OF the nursery II degrees on Monday. L
never allow it above or below 20 degrees.
Helen-DOn't you? DIR. Mollycoddle
ftvOrs Is degrees.
LOuise-My book recommends 20 de
grees. Margaret is careless about other
things, too; she
Helen-Elizabeth, on the whole, suits
me very well.
Louisc-Margaret didn't take the TEN,
perature at Rupert's bath, yesterday. /
was so afraId it was too warm or too cold,
and
Helen-Oh, yes, indeed; l am so partic-
ular about that.
BOuise-But | must 60. Rupert's next
feeding time is - o'clock, and it is half
past IL now
Helen-Oh, but baby has not walked mp.
Louise never vary a minute.
Helen-I wanted you to see how much
darker baby's eyes are
Louise-YOu must bring him over. Come
in the afternoon. Rupert only goes out In
the morning this weather, and you must
see him.
Helen Oh, baby could not be in the all
after | o'clock.
Louise oh, true; l forgot. Well, come
|, and see me soon. l think Rupert's hair is
going to curl beautifully.
Helen-Baby has very little hair yet
